Eh its better to have a moderate politically pledged to support you than a democrat politically pledged to appose you.
Take the gains you have with the rest of the State and let them run your state’s political activity. Let the moderates help you where they will, as the democrats will fight you everywhere.
Good counsel, when it comes to the rank and file moderate Republicans in Kansas - they understand what we’re up against. The problem was (and I stress WAS) the moderates in the Senate who were hell-bent on helping the Democrats, no matter what the issue.
